Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: In order to increase growth performance and microbiological food safety in chicken, functional feed additives such as direct feed mechanisms, dietary prebiotics, and phytogenic preparations have been shown to be effective. Modern intensive poultry farming has made incredible progress toward the affordable and effective production of high-quality products. The use of fruits and vegetables is also favoured by substantial environmental, economic, economic, and social aspects. Essential oils, which are secondary metabolites generated from a variety of plants, may be added to functional feed for broilers. Finding an alternative to antibiotic growth promoter has become more important over the last several years because to customers’ growing knowledge of and concern about antibiotic residues in chicken products.
